Deuteronomy 31 // Ben BeasleyThis sermon explores the poignant transition of leadership as Moses prepares for his departure. In Deuteronomy 31, we witness the formal commissioning of Joshua and the final encouragements given to the nation of Israel. It is a powerful lesson on courage, the continuity of faith, and the promise that he will never leave nor forsake his people as they stand on the edge of the promised land.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49583483 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new26.03.29

Deuteronomy 6:1-9 // Ben BeasleyThis sermon focuses on the core of the ancient faith known as the Shema. Found in Deuteronomy 6:1-9, these verses serve as a vital command for the people of Israel to love God with every fiber of their being. We look at the call to pass this faith down to the next generation and how to weave his truth into the everyday rhythms of life, from the moment we wake up until we lie down.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new26.03.22

Numbers 13-14 // Caleb JenkinsIn this teaching on Numbers 13-14, we analyze the mission of the twelve spies and the two very different reports they brought back. While ten spies focused on the strength of the walled cities and the size of the inhabitants, Joshua and Caleb looked at the power of the one who promised them victory. The sermon examines the consequences of the people's rebellion—their desire to return to Egypt and the subsequent judgment that led to forty years of wandering. We discuss how fear can blind us to his provision and how trust in his word is the only way to move forward into the "land flowing with milk and honey."SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new26.03.15

Leviticus 16 // Ben BeasleyIn this teaching on Leviticus 16, we examine the detailed instructions given to Aaron regarding the Day of Atonement. The sermon explains the gravity of entering behind the veil and the necessity of the sin offering and the burnt offering. A central focus is placed on the two goats: one sacrificed to satisfy justice and the "scapegoat" sent into the wilderness to carry away the guilt of the camp. We discuss how these rituals illustrate his mercy and the lengths he goes to so that his presence can remain among his people. This sermon helps us understand the weight of sin and the beauty of being made clean in his sight.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new26.03.08

Exodus 20 // Brooks NesseIn this teaching on Exodus 20, we look at the heart of the biblical law and the significance of the Ten Commandments. The sermon breaks down the two sections of the tablets: the first focusing on our devotion to God—prohibiting idols and honoring his name—and the second focusing on our conduct toward our neighbors. We discuss the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the mountain, the thunder and lightning that accompanied his voice, and the role of Moses as a mediator. This sermon invites us to see these commandments as a reflection of his holy character and a roadmap for a life of justice and peace.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49569653 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new26.03.01

Exodus 1-15 // Ben BeasleyThis sermon covers the foundational journey of the Israelites as they transition from harsh oppression in Egypt to miraculous freedom. We follow the rise of Moses, the confrontation with Pharaoh through the ten plagues, and the climactic crossing of the Red Sea. Discover how these ancient events reveal the character of a God who hears the cries of his people and acts with power to rescue them.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49566446 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new26.02.22

Genesis 37-50 // Ben BeasleyThis sermon explores the life of Joseph, spanning from his colorful coat in Canaan to his seat of power in Egypt. We follow the narrative of Genesis 37-50, examining how Joseph was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and falsely imprisoned. Despite these hardships, the story reveals how God’s hidden hand was at work, positioning Joseph to save entire nations from famine. We focus on the climax of the story—the emotional reunion and reconciliation of the family—and the profound truth that what man intends for evil, God intends for good.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49562827 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new26.02.15
